Compass candidates sweep, U-Pass referendum fails
UTSU elections results were released shortly after 6:00 pm on March 28, revealing a clean sweep by the Compass slate for all executive positions. 12,734 of a possible 50,405 electors voted, a 25.3 percent turnout. In addition, the referendum to establish a $280 per semester U-Pass transit fee for undergraduate UTSG students has failed to pass.
We would like to acknowledge that The Varsity's office is built on the traditional territory of several First Nations, including the Huron-Wendat, the Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit. Journalists have historically harmed Indigenous communities by overlooking their stories, contributing to stereotypes, and telling their stories without their input. Therefore, we make this acknowledgement as a starting point for our responsibility to tell those stories more accurately, critically, and in accordance with the wishes of Indigenous peoples.
